York offers a unique shopping experience. If you are looking for a special gift idea, want to spoil yourself or treat someone special, there is no better place for some retail therapy. With a web of winding streets flaunting designer stores, independent shops and boutiques, each distinct shopping area has its own speciality.

Parliament and Coney Street are home to the high street favourites, as is Coppergate – where archaeologists unearthed remains from the Viking city of Jorvik. Stonegate and Swinegate are home to a mix of stores hidden amongst medieval and Georgian architecture. For independent shops that are off the beaten track, wander along Gillygate and Petergate. Or explore the daily Shambles Market with more than 85 stalls offering a diverse selection of goods.

As well as benefiting from being beautiful, York also has a vibrant culture of chic cafes, festivals, galleries and theatres which any hen party will instantly fall in love with, as well as the stunning River Ouse perfect for boat trips and evening cruises during the summer months.

Treat yourself to hand-made chocolates and some of the best coffee in the city at the ornate Betty’s Tea Rooms.
